FACTS ABOUT FULLERTON.

Fullerton is town site on the San Diego
division of the Santa Fe Railroad, twenty
three miles southwest of Los Angeles and
three miles north of Anaheim. 1t is a regu-
lar station on that railway and all trains will
stop there.
ADVANTAGES.
Fullerton has the most productive country
tributary to it of any new town site laid out
in Southern California; the country around
is noted for its fertile soil and the great
abundance of water. The water is derived
from the Anahs i'm ditch, which, as is well
known, is the most copious supply in South
ern California. Oranges grow to the greatest
perfection. The famous Gilman ranch ad-
joins the town site OF Fullerton. The Gilman
place is the "show" walnut grove in the
State, visitors being taken there from all
parts of the country and shown it as a sample
OF what can be done in the way OF having a
perfect walnut grove. Oranges and lines
from this section are noted throughout the
State as being the finest produced anywhere,
and commanding the top market price.
Land in the vicinity of Fullerton is still at
very reasonable figure, as the country is
comparatively little known, being at present
out of the way of the general line OF travel.
With the advent of the Santa Fe Railroad,
which is expected within ninety days, prop
erty will advance very materially, as it will
then first be introduced to many seeking pro,
ductive land at lower prices than that asked
for in and about Pasadena.
OSTR1CHES.
The original and largest ostrich farm il
only one mile from the town, ana is great
source of interest to tourists. One hundred
ostriches may be counted.
COMMONWEALTH AVENUE
runs through the center of the town, one
hundred feet wide and ten miles long. Th1s
will be one of the finest avenues in the South
ern country. Lined with umbrageous shade
trees, and the soil is naturally adapted 10
road making, packing as hard as asphalt,
and never dusty or muddy
AsPHALTUM.
Immense deposits of oil and asphaltum
occur in the neighborhood.
PRICES OF LAND.
Ordinary land without water can be pur.
chased for from $75 to 5000 per acre; best
land with water at $3.50 to 800 per acre;
and there is but little doubt that all this land
will sell readily at $1,000 per acre within six
months from date.

PRICES OF LOTS.

streets are graded and there is not an unde
sirable lot in the entire town site, as the

from the foothills.

gets muddyAor dusty.

/ the ocean, gets the sea breeze much soone
| than towns on the other side of the foothill
| thus producing a low temperature in sum
mer, and ut the same time the proximity
